Great minds think alike.

英雄所见略同。

If great minds really did think alike, then we would live in an unreal world which is just a Dstopia.

Given that our world is so varied, so I think the great minds don't think alike, though there might be only one truth for many things in our world.

Besides, if they did, then the world would be very horrible to the human beings.

In fact, it is just the dissimilarity between our minds that is the source of our porgress and our success as human beings.

Now, this quotation is usually used in the case of two friends having the same idea at the same time.

But its prevalence means that it rings true for some, and that might become a problem sometimes.

Actually, the notable feature of great minds, what really makes them great, is that they don't think alike to any other minds, great or otherwise.

It is the ability to consider independently and originally that makes thinkers powerful and important.

Please remember, there are not any two men, on what are called doctrinal points, think alike who think at all, it is only those who have not thought that appear to agree.

So, we don't always have to agree with opinions of others, try to find out some different things, that would be helpful for all of us, that would be the start point of creations.

Humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.

就算可能失败，也要继续前行，这才是真正的人。

From Ralph Ellison.

Live is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.

The above is the complete version of this quote.

As an ordinary person, my willpower is not strong and my persistence is weak, it is natural for me that I am often afraid of failing, sometimes such feeling even held me back from the opportunities I had been eager for.

And I know that might be the reason why I couldn't be somebody, because those fears undermined my own efforts to avoid the possibility of a larger failure.

As we all know, the fear of failing can be immobilizing, it can cause us to do nothing, and therefore resist moving forward.

When we allow fear to stop our forward progress in life, we are likely to miss some great opportunities along the way.

To realize our dreams, to avoid being disappointed by the results, we must overcome our fear of failure so that we have the possibility to achieve our goals.
